If a recipe says "untested"...

We want to post scans of all the original recipes so everyone in our family can enjoy them even if we haven't gotten around to testing each one in our modern kitchen. As we test each recipe, we will add our notes and photos to the recipes we do test and remove the note "untested" in the title. If you make one of the untested recipes, take a photo of the finished product and send us a note to let us know of your experience so we may include those in the recipes as well.

Pineapple Carrot Cake

This recipe isn't in Grammy's handwriting. Since it is noted as being from the kitchen of Alta Camp, it is probably in Alta's handwriting. Alta's notes at the bottom of the recipe, "Better if made several days ahead and kept in ref [refrigerator]."

1 cup grated carrot

1 cup drained crushed pineapple

1 cup nuts

Ingredients for glaze:

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cube Nerco [probably a brand of margarine—I'd use butter]
